AVRO 748 & ANDOVER
![]()
The Avro 748 was designed as a private venture civil airliner by
the A.V.Roe Co and first flew in 1960. Initial versions of the Series
1 seated 48 passengers.
The aircraft was re-designated HS.748 in 1963 after A.V.Roe was
incorporated into Hawker Siddeley Aviation. Later versions
included the Series 2 and Series 2A.
Two examples of the Series 2 were placed into RAF service with
the Queen's Flight, designated Andover CC Mk 2, for short-range
VIP flights involving the British Royal Family, often with Prince
Phillip himself in command.
A later version was developed with a rear cargo loading door,
"kneeling" undercarriage, and 50% more powerful engines.
Intended for civil as well as military use, it was used by the RAF
as the Andover CC Mk 1.
The CD includes the RAF flight manuals (titled Pilot's Notes) for
both the C Mk 1 and CC Mk 2 versions, has been scanned from the
original flight manuals and retains any colour pages.
